Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy and 2312. The Expanse books in terms of human political structure (Earth/Mars/The Belt and Outer Planets Alliance), assuming humanity is able to colonize the solar system.



To call Mars Trilogy not colored by the authors ideology is, well, brave to say the least.


I mean in terms of hard scifi, assuming we start colonizing the solar system. I probably prefer The Expanse authors views over Robinson's.


Well, I mean, it's a silly request. Everything's coloured by the author's ideology.


I have it on my to-read list because I heard it was interesting socialist sci-fi so it is a bit weird seeing it repeatedly recommended to someone who finds The Culture too lefty.


It has nice parts but overall it left me feeling icky from its seething marxist rage.
